I think the mumble/ teamspeak ship has sailed a long time ago the UI/ UX of discord is just better.

I would like a open source solution similar to discord, I think the closest thing we currently have are Signal group calls.

Current features of Signal calls: - peer to peer no need for a central server which sells your data (Discord) or needs to be setup rented, maintained (teamspeak, mumble)

- end to end encryption

- video calls

- Screen sharing

- large group sizes for text chats (1000)

Wanted features: - adjust the volume of individual participants

- multiple voice/ text "channels" for a group (something similar to discord servers)

- usernames so that not everybody needs to know my phone number

- more participants in a single group call (currently maximum 8), I think 10-15 should be enough for most use cases, with more voice participants voice chat breaks down regardless, because of people constantly interrupting each other

- the UI for group calls is still a little confusing




> no need for a central server which sells your data (Discord)

Discord doesn't sell your information: https://discord.com/privacy

FTA:

> "The Company is not in the business of selling your information"
